For years, Christian women have been told, "If you just prayed more, had more faith, and trusted Jesus, you'd have more peace." But what does it mean when a Christian momma continues to worry? How does she reconcile her feelings of fear with her faith in God? And how does she raise her children in a home full of peace when she feels anything but peaceful?
Becky Thompson, a best-selling author with a degree in biblical studies, knows firsthand what it is like to suffer from the crippling effects of anxiety--a condition she has struggled to overcome for most of her life. For her and many others, the fear she faces is not a faith issue. It's a physical one that affects over 40 million adults in the US.
As Becky examines the relationship between the promise of peace in Scripture and the reality of life, motherhood, and anxiety, she brings both a practical and spiritual approach to the discussion of anxiety and how it impacts your mind, body, and spirit.
Peace meets moms in the forest of fear where they have felt isolated and alone and walks them toward hope, reminding them that there are millions of other women who walk the same dark, uncertain trails they do and there isn't something wrong with their faith because they can't shake the fear. Peace is a lifeline for the Christian mom desperate for solid advice based on sound doctrine and presented in a way that makes her feel understood and far less alone on her journey toward healing.

Highly Recommend
I highly recommend this book to any woman, especially mothers, who is suffering with ANY form of anxiety. I was diagnosed with Postpartum Anxiety after my last child was born. It was so bad that I sought medication and therapy which I believe God used to help me. It’s been well over a year now. I started reading this book and God placed it on my heart to attempt to go off the anxiety medication. I’m not saying this book can CURE you of your anxiety, but it truly helps give insight and suggestions to truly finding PEACE while also being interesting and “hard to put down” read. All of Beckys books are amazing. I actually stumbled across her books in the midst of my worst depression and anxiety moments last year and she was my “light” in the darkest times of my life. Then I heard about this new book and I had to read it ASAP. This book will help if not change your life.
MUST READ for all mothers in today's anxious world!!
It is a tough world right now, especially as a mom. There are so many things happening, and so many unknowns. It is easy to become overwhelmed, and to allow our anxiety to take over. This book is such a beautiful reminder that we are seen, we are heard, and we are not alone. It is a reminder that God is leading us through this forest of unknowns, and will guide us through to the other side. It is a reminder that it is okay to say that we are not okay, and that we are not alone in these feelings. Becky Thompson is so real and honest, and that spoke right to my heart and brought me such peace. I can't wait for so many women to read this and find peace, hope, and healing!
Relatable, Practical, Powerful & Well-Written!
Before 2020 even happened- all the stress and anxiety we’ve faced this year over every unexpected turn- God set this book into motion and I KNOW so many of you will begin to find the path He’s set before you leading to hope and healing as you read “Peace.” Why do I recommend this?! Not only does Becky have a Biblical Studies degree (which gives authority to what she writes about God’s Word), but she writes from experience. She’s lived through His love and grace and also through truly debilitating anxiety! I trust her because she’s done her research and has first hand experience. I trust her because I’ve seen over the years how she yields her life to His will. I trust her because I know God put this on her heart- she was the one to write this and lead others to the hope and healing that’s found in Him. When I read a book written by Becky, it feels like I’m reading a book written by someone I’ve known for years, though I’ve only “known” her through Facebook interactions! I love her wisdom and the practical way she shares biblical truths. This book is a message that so many women need, especially in this 2020 world. It has a specific chapter on motherhood and uses experiences drawn from a mother’s perspective, but the conversation about anxiety is one that ALL women can benefit from. The hope and healing is the same for all of us!
A Guide in the Dark
Becky Thompson has been a staple in my growth and Bible study in the last few years. I found Becky on Instagram and learned she had written a few books and had a ministry that spoke right to my heart at all the right times. Becky's most recent book Peace was my favorite so far. I have suffered from an anxiety disorder most of my life and found myself feeling so alone as a Christian woman that I could not overcome this weakness. Through Peace I learned that I am not alone and that I am broken by our fallen world, not by my actions or lack of faith in God. Through the analogy of the woman lost in the forest looking to be saved Becky walks the reader through the steps of leaning into God, obedience and those willing to help to walk out of the forest. Each chapter ends with a prayer and a journal prompt. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. Whether you are someone that has anxiety or knows someone that does this book with be a guiding light. 5 stars Thank you to Becky Thompson, NetGalley, and WaterBrookMultomoh for the advanced reader copy.
A perfect time for this release
This book is such a wonderful tool for every woman not just for mommas. I was blessed to be apart of the launch team and was able to read the book before it releases. It is by far my favorite one so far and helps my momma with anxiety. Listen for us when we shout hello! Call back to us so we can come meet you in the forest and help you navigate out. We are coming! This book could not release at a more perfect time coming out during a pandemic and Hurricane Laura recovery for my hometown. God knew we all needed this and the perfect time for Becky to release this amazing book.
The perfect book at the perfect time
Becky Thompson has done it again! I fell in love with her words through her Midnight Mom prayers but this book touched me so deeply. I’ve always felt like I was lesser than because my anxiety was something I had to hide in my church and try and apologize to God about. Becky turned that idea upside down. Nothing about me is a defect and this book gave me this message I didn’t know I needed. Especially during these times, Becky helped me realize how present God is through every day but especially during these turbulent times through Trail Angels. Women who walk this path right along with me. It’s calmed my heart so much and given me a connection to other women I want to share this message of hope with.
A must read!
Peace. A word so simple yet holds so much power. As someone who has struggled with anxiety, both in and out of motherhood, the word peace often seems like a foreign idea. I’ve read other books, listened to talks, and researched many things that would try to help bring peace to my heart and my mind. As an avid follower of Becky Thompson, long before this book (and all her other books), when I saw that she was going to be speaking truth to the topic of anxiety I was beyond excited. Finally – someone to put words to the things I felt, to put a voice to the words of my heart that I couldn’t seem to find myself. But what I looked forward to most was that I knew I would find HOPE and HEALING in her words. PEACE is exactly that. There is hope in the pages. Healing happens as you turn the pages. Some things resonate more than others, but I just tucked those things away to save for when I need them. Becky Thompson uses her voice to reach through the dark clouds that often come with anxiety and helps you see that there is hope when everything seems hopeless, that healing is possible when it seems like you will always be broken. Her words, however, are only possible thanks to her being willing to listen to what God has called her to do. This is a must read for anyone who has ever felt anxious, or has someone in their life who has anxiety!
Much needed especially now
If you deal with anxiety this book is a must! I have followed Becky's blog for many years and have seen her posts about anxiety. I was excited when she said that she was now coming out with a book about the same subject. One thing that I appreciate about this book is that Becky talks about the many causes of anxiety. She looks at it from all aspects. Peace: Hope and Healing for the Anxious Momma's Heart is uplifting and a refreshing breath in this time of chaos.
AMAZING book for ALL moms, especially those with anxiety!
This book was AMAZING! I’ve dealt with anxiety all my life and this book made it feel as if I was not alone! ALL moms should read this book! Becky writes in such a way that you feel like she’s just a friend talking with you over coffee! She’s is not afraid to share her personal experiences! It was a wonderful book to read during this crazy time! HIGHLY recommend!!
Helped Me and One to Pass Along
What a timely book for all that we have been experiencing in our world right now! I think there has never been more anxiety around us than today, at least not in my lifetime! Becky’s book hit home for me. First of all, who couldn’t use more peace! She takes you though her own struggles with anxiety and helps you to access your anxiety through many different contributors. As I read her book, I had some lightbulb moments and I felt at one point, I was writing the pages myself! See, I had a panic attack for the first time this year and it was a very similar experience that Becky once had. I found the Lord showing me how I can rest in Him and have hope and healing through His Word and through steps I myself can take. Are you struggling finding peace? Or dealing with anxiety? Read Becky’s book and then pass it on!

Love love love!!!
I started reading Peace by Becky Thompson the creator of Midnight Mom Devotional and it’s hands down such a great Christian based book for momma’s! It’s got me teary eyed a time or two and I’m only 1/3rd of the way through and I don’t want to put it down! It’s such a great book to re-connect with God & understand that post partum anxiety is real and talk about the struggles of being a mom in our generation. It’s very relatable for anybody that has a new baby, I just can’t get over how true these two pages are! It’s great that we have access to so much information to help us make informed decisions for our little ones but it also can be very toxic for our mental health as well leaving us anxious & indecisive. We are all different there’s no wrong way to mom. 😅 We need to “Stop letting the easily accessible information about future threats steal present peace” - You don’t even need to be a mom to relate to that 💚 “The dangers today may not be anymore dangerous then they were a century ago, but they are hands down a hundred times louder” - The real threat to modern motherhood 🙌🏻 I highly reccomend this book for any momma & I can only imagine how much better this book is gunna get 😍 I’m obsessed 💜
Amazing book!!
I’ve read and loved all of Becky Thompson’s books but this one is my favorite so far. You can really see her heart in this book. I would recommend it to any woman who struggles with anxiety on any level. I really appreciated that while this is a Christian book and a solid one at that, Becky doesn’t just recite the stereotypical church speech as pertains to anxiety (or mental disorders as a whole for that matter). She talks a lot about the physiological reasons anxiety happens and how our hormones play a part. She discusses how our bodies are imperfect because of living in a broken world, and just like our physical bodies can break down or stop working properly, our brains can as well. She gives practical advice on how to handle anxiety as well as spiritual. While she does acknowledge anxiety isn’t always a spiritual problem, she does address it on that level as well, because, ultimately, Becky is pointing her readers back to Jesus as the ultimate source of peace. And that is the entire point of the book. The two chapters that stood out most to me where the chapter on the Holy Spirit and how we as Christians lack understanding of this aspect of God, and the chapter at the end about “going back into the forest” and helping other women who are struggling with a lack of peace in their lives. I love that Becky uses solid biblical truths throughout the book; this isn’t a self-help, cure all book to end all of your problems. It’s a book that points continuously back to Jesus who is Peace. It’s full of reminders that we can’t have peace, true peace, without Him. This book is a must for any Christian woman who lives with anxiety, and a really useful tool for anyone who knows someone in their life who struggles in this way.
Hope for the Anxious momma
This book is amazing! I've read all of Becky Thompson's books and each one is a jewel. I feel like I'm listening to a friend with each book. This particular book explains feelings I've had and sometimes you feel like you're the only person who has these feelings but when you read this book you realize how many other women are there with you. I definitely recommend this book!
So needed
I love Becky Thompson. She's one of my favorite Christian authors and I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book! It feels like Becky is one of my closest friends who knows me very well and knows just what to say to get through to me. I love her rawness, her honesty and her ability to not shy away from difficult topics. And it is so clear how much she loves Jesus!
Best book this year!!!!
For anyone looking for peace in their life...this is the book for you! I absolutely love how relatable Becky Thompson makes her books and this was no different. To know you’re in a time of hardship and not alone. That you’re not the only to go through it is so comforting. Most of all to know we have a Savior who loves and is ready to bring PEACE into your life is even better. 10/10!!!!
A must read
This book is an answer to prayer. The author writes like she is having a one on one conversation with a friend. As a mom of a little one a friend is exactly what I need. She is relatable and gives easy to follow recommendations on how to find peace. Like actual practical steps. Not just pray and leave it at Gods feet. In reality there is so much more to it and Becky Thompson addresses that. If you need Peace and want a friend try this book.
For EVERY woman that's ever felt scared anxious and alone in their worry.
I got to be a part of the launch team for this book and hear the heart Becky had when writing it. She has passionately written to the woman who is feeling alone, anxious, overwhelmed, ashamed, lost and scared because she's been there. Her heart is the help that woman get out of the forest and find God's freedom and to know she's not alone. This book is a Blessing that EVERY woman can benefit from, even if they're not a mother.
Do YOU need Peace?!
Hands down one of the best books for a Anxious Mama's Heart. Do you struggle with Anxiety?! Do you need peace?! Well guess what, you are NOT alone. This book will help you find that Peace in knowing you aren't alone & that it's ok to have these feelings. It helps you find the peace & she allows God to help her find that Peace. She's a awesome writer & allows God to speak through her.
Peace, hope, healing, and reassurance that your anxiety does not define you!
This book is like sitting down to have coffee and a chat with a great Christian friend who is ready to speak truth to you and lead you to peace. Becky Thompson’s writing style is comfortable and inviting. She constantly points us back to God’s truth and the perfect Peace that is within us as the Holy Spirit. Momma’s (or women) who have felt the sting of seemingly not having enough faith, or endured the sermons telling them their anxiety was a result of not trusting enough, will find comfort and reassurance in these pages. They will learn that “anxiety does not disqualify you from being a woman full of faith.” Becky offers tangible ways to walk in faith DESPITE our physiological symptoms, despite our psychological worries, despite the lies that tell us we are not enough or God is not enough. This book goes a step further in helping us to find the courage to share our stories and be trail guides for other women who are still lost in the forest of fear amidst their anxiety. Each chapter closes with a prayer, a truth, and a very real step that women can take as they navigate their own anxiety or offer help to others around them. The world needs PEACE right now. Women need the words on these pages! Becky Thompson is a “must-read” author. I have all of her books on my shelf and reach for them often. God speaks such truth through her words and her humble spirit. She is a “real momma” in the trenches and so, so incredibly relatable. I highly recommend purchasing this book and every other one she’s written. You will feel like you’re getting a hug and whispers of advice and support from your best friend while she points you back towards your Heavenly Father.
Buy it now.
Absolutely love this book and haven’t even finished it yet, there have been several days where I am dealing with something and then something (God of course) tells me to read a chapter and BOOM there is the exact thing I am struggling with in the book & God is right there to tell me I’m not alone! No doubt God has used Becky’s book to reach this momma’s heart!
A Must Have
This book is absolutely amazing!! Becky Thompson has done it once again. Just when you think you’re all alone fighting your burdens, this sweet Angel comes and tells you “You are not alone, I am coming to help you!” She is so relatable and brings your Faith back to you when you think it is gone. As I was reading this book, I felt like Becky was talking to me one on one. Everything she was saying, was like she knew how I was feeling. We are not alone, we have each other and we have God! Every momma needs to add this book to her collection!
Peace is timely
Becky Thompson has once again written a book that is so timely, this time both personally and globally. She writes like she is sitting on the couch next to you speaking with you. She speaks and writes Truth and Wisdom from our Father to provide Peace in your heart. This is a must read if this year (or any time) has been trying for you.
Easy read, hopeful and practical steps to finding hope and peace in Jesus.
Peace; Hope and Healing for the Anxious Mama’s heart could not be a more well timed book. Reading this books feels like having coffee with a friend. Becky’s words encourage us to address the unseen, but heavily felt fears and anxieties we face as mothers. She offers practical steps and ways to address our fears, and dig up the lies about God in which they are rooted. Freedom can be found. Hope is here. Peace is available. All in Jesus.
This Book is a Must Have for Every Mama
When I got this book in my hands, I read every page without stopping. I soaked up each word and felt my body relax, just knowing that I wasn't alone in my anxiety journey. Every word that Becky wrote is from her heart, her journey and her relationship with Jesus. She shares her insecurities and her feelings of inadequacy stemming from her anxiety, and helped us all feel a little less alone. I hope every person that reads this understands that anxiety doesn't disqualify her from being a christian or being used by God.
Highly Recommend
I highly recommend this book for anyone that struggles with any form of Anxiety. I’ve struggled with anxiety since I was a young girl. This book has brought breakthrough to my life. It’s that good. I believe God has greatly anointed Becky to speak this message and I believe it will be a blessing and help many many women.
Spectacular Book!
I highly recommend this and any book by Becky Thompson! This book specifically has really met me where I felt most alone in motherhood. I didn't know I had anxiety until after I gave birth to my children. This book has really touched on a lot of the foundational emotions I felt during that time and very fairly addresses how to seek out help. I appreciate the timing of this book too. Being a mother at all is challenging but throw in a global pandemic and wow! It's wonderful that Becky has been called to speak about and bring awareness to a very sensitive subject particularly for Christian women but definitely for all women.
A TRIBE OF SUPPORT
This book is MUCH needed right now! From the very first page to the last word, I knew I had to get this book into the hands of my friends. We all experience anxiety in some form or another. Knowing that I have a tribe of support behind me brings me PEACE. Do yourself a favor—order this book today. Trust me on this—you will be blessed by the support each page provides!
Perfect for Anxious Moms
This book delivers exactly what the title describes, Peace, Hope, and Healing. Before I became a mom I didn’t really think I had a problem with anxiety but that all changed as soon as I became responsible for another life. The anxiety and the stress of raising little ones is sometimes too much, but God is always with us. Becky reminds us of truth in this book, truth that we can cling to in times of worry. Not only is God always with us and leading us through this life, but there are other moms who have gone through, or are going through the same things we are and we can help each other. I love how Becky makes it so clear that we are not what we feel! She writes in such a way that I feel like she’s walked in my shoes and been where I’ve been, like we could be best friends. God placed this message on her heart for a reason, and this book is coming out at the perfect time.
Must read for the Christian mom with anxiety!
I started crying in the introduction because it felt as though Becky was speaking right to me and knew everything I'd gone through or was facing. This past year with the pandemic, has made my anxiety difficult but Becky's book gives me the hope that with God, I can overcome my fears and anxieties. She writes in such a relatable way but also has amazing biblical insight. I also went through her 6 week book study and I loved the additional content she shares. A must read for any Christian mom battling anxiety!
Real, Relatable, and highly Recommended!!! ❤️
I loved this book! Becky Thompson does a great job at connecting with the reader. Her writing is real and relatable. It serves as a guide to identify anxieties, possible contributing factors, how to recognize these causes, and how to take back control over our thoughts, fears, and anxieties. She helps to formulate a plan of attack that is personal and practical. She has written things from a perspective that I’ve never thought about. Her book strengthened me, encouraged me, and made me realize that I am not alone-that we are NEVER ALONE. I highly recommend this book to anyone struggling with anxiety!
A Must Read if you are struggling with anxiety!
I highly recommend this book! This book has been amazing. It made me realize how much I am letting anxiety and stress control my life and has given me strategies to do something about it! I will be rereading this book again also. Even though I am not a young mom with small kids, this book came at a time that I needed to hear and read everything in it!! Thanks, Becky, for sharing your personal struggles and fabulous insights and reminding us how much God always loves us....even when we have fears and anxieties!!!
Very applicable book
Even though this book is geared towards moms with anxiety disorder the ideas can be applied to other disorders. We read this book in a moms group and it was very applicable and helpful for a lot of Moms.
Read Peace & receive peace!
This is so timely! It speaks right to my anxious momma heart and is full of wisdom and encouragement. I’ve learned so much and can see how brave I am while recognizing the miracles that are happening in my life daily. With every book Becky writes they each become my new favorite!

Must read
Becky Thompson makes you feel like she’s your best friend sitting beside you going through whatever you’re going through, her words are so encouraging.
Amazing!! I love all of her books!
I have read all of Becky’s books and they were all so so good! I love them. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one! I’ve suffered from postpartum after the births of my last two children and discovered Becky’s book:Hope Unfolding when I was struggling with postpartum the first time. It helped me so much. I am again struggling after having another baby and Peace speaks right to my heart. Anxiety is so hard to live with and the way Becky writes is always as if she is your friend and she just understands what you’re going through. This book couldn’t have come at a more perfect time with everything going on in the world! You will love it!
So thankful for this resource
This book is a game-changer for women - not just mothers - who live with anxiety and for anyone who loves someone who experiences anxiety. These are the conversations we need to be having as a Church with respect to mental health. Do your heart and mind a favor and order this book.
LOVE it
I am not one for 'self-help' type books but let me tell you, this sucked me in! I found myself re-reading to highlight and remind myself of the key points. She breaks down biblical references and helps to bring things full circle.
What a resource!
I have been reading this book the past few weeks with a book study and it has been an amazing resource for me. I love how relatable the author makes specific points to help me work through the struggles. If you are a struggling Mama, I would highly recommend this book!

Calm for a Troubled Heart
There has not been a better time for this book to come! I love the practical advice that Becky gives and the understanding she has for the topic of anxiety. Becky mixes personal stories from her life with applications from the Bible, in her heartfelt way of meeting you right where you are. You aren’t broken, you aren’t beyond hope, and anxiety is not a pure result of lack of faith! Mama, it’s 2020, and life has never been more crazy. This book is calm for a troubled heart and you need a copy!
You need this!
From the first chapter, Becky had me drawn in. Words were pouring in to my heart and helping this anxious momma realize that there is nothing wrong with me. My anxiety does not mean my faith is weak. If you are walking down a road that seems very dark, pick up this book! You won't regret it!
Must-read for Moms with Anxiety
This book is a must-read for moms of any age who struggle with anxiety. Becky Thompson approaches the subject from a Biblical point of view and helps the reader realize anxiety is a physical response to fear that God never intended for us to struggle with alone. Her stories help you realize you’re not alone in this journey and there is hope for peace moving forward!
Wonderful book and Bible Study
Very good book for exactly what it is named! Becky is so insightful and writes beautifully about anxiety, not something everyone wants to talk about, but should! Great Bible Study also. Thank you Becky
Hard to form an opinion
I got this for my daughter, and the first chapter upset her so much that she stopped reading. Why did the author have to start out with so much tragedy and sorrow? I thought this book was supposed to be about peace.
A Perfect Read During a Pandemic
I have loved all of Becky’s books, especially this one. Becky Thompson provides such hope, inspiration, and honesty throughout her book. Peace is my favorite one to date—as a mom struggling with daily anxiety. Her eloquent writing and strong purpose resonates with me during this anxiety ridden season of COVID.
Love this book!

A Christ-Centered Book for the Anxious Momma's Heart
This book is GREAT! If you're a momma who has suffered from anxiety, this book is for you. Becky gives real life advice that could help you work through your anxiety. As a momma who has suffered through anxiety since a teenager, I loved reading the different tips and tricks Becky had. Not to mention, she relates it all back to Christ. This is seriously a very well-rounded book that you will definitely appreciate.
Wasn't what I was expecting
I have read and owned all of her other books, and this one didn't quite live up to what I was expecting. It was a quick read for me and didn't grab me like past books. Not healing and I don't think I'll read again. Maybe my hopes were too high?
Life-changing book!
I’m only 3 chapters in and this book is truly life-changing. It helps my understand anxiety in a whole new way. I love that the author bases everything on scripture. I recommend this for any woman who struggles with anxiety, mother it not.

I love this book! It is like she has written a personal letter to everyone who reads it. This book has made me see God in a whole new way and has transformed my relationship with Him. It truly provides exactly what the title says “hope and healing for an anxious mama’s heart”
Great book!
Becky is open and honest about life with anxiety. She makes anxiety relatable as a mom and gives real life applications on how to manage anxiety through God’s Word. I love this book and many of her other books, as well. -Michelle DiFranco

I recommend this to any woman who feels like she just doesn’t know what step to take next when she’s anxious and just needs some peace of mind. ... and that’s just what we all need in this crazy year of 2020 and just life in general.
Perfect for the anxious momma
This book came just at the right time. I have suffered with anxiety since my miscarriage in 2016. I found Becky’s books shortly after and she always has a home run. It’s not lost on me that this book came out in 2020 when so many mommas are dealing with anxiety. It’s an amazing resource and I am truly so grateful to have found it.
Amazing book.
I highly recommend this book to any woman with anxiety. This book has shown me I can be a woman of faith, have anxiety and not feel less of a woman of faith. It’s a book that is very relatable to all.
Must buy!
This book is an incredible tribute to the peace of Jesus! Reading it is like sitting with a best friend and walking through anxiety together. Such a timely book for the world we are living in right now!!!!
Life changing book
I LOVED this book! After suffering from pretty severe post partial anxiety, this is something I desperately needed. I often worry about things that haven’t happened, but could and how I would deal. She does an amazing job in this book, correlating scripture to present day and situations we all so often face! This book has been a life changing experience for me!
Faith based, anxiety healing of hearts
I wish that all ladies with anxiety and anxiousness all had a chance to receive the blessings from this book that I have. Definitely opens up the spiritual heart to a calming sense.
Love this book!!
During this time of uncertainty and increased anxiety, this book provides a Christian view of anxiety for moms. It offers helpful suggestions as well as reflection. I love this book and highly recommend it to anxious moms everywhere!

Must Read if you struggle with anxiety
This book has been an absolute life line to me. I have struggled with anxiety my whole life. I seen it advertised on Facebook along with a study lead by the author. I figured I might as well try it out. After I began reading it we started going through a move and I began experiencing panic attacks that made me think I was dying. After a doctor confirmed it was indeed just anxiety I felt even worse bc it wasn’t something anyone could fix for me. I had been praying for peace but I couldn’t find it. So I kept turning back to this book. She shares her personal journey and connects scripture with hope in a way I have never experienced. In moments where my heart starts to race and I’m sure I’m going to have a heart attack. I grab the book and open it to the prayers available at the end of the chapters and just start reading them allowed. It has been so helpful and I highly recommend this book.
You are not alone!
If you are like me, your first introduction to Becky Thompson was through the extremely popular Midnight Mom Facebook page. This encouraging page shares inspiring devotionals for moms that are shared thousands of times across news feeds around the world. So when I heard about Becky's new book for anxious moms, I knew it would be a welcome and helpful blessing. In this uplifting read, Becky speaks to her readers as if they are friends sitting in the room with her. She lets them know that they are not alone and it is okay to be a faithful Christian yet still suffer with feelings of anxiety. Becky's bravery in speaking out will help so many women who are afraid to share their true feelings. I really enjoyed this book and felt uplifted by reading it and applying it to my own life. I think this book is greatly needed in our world today as anxiety is seemingly at an all time high with all of the struggles that everyone is facing. You will walk away from this book feeling refreshed and understood
Uplifting, encouraging and judgement free!
Absolutely love this book. As a long time reader of Becky Thompson, this book is a wonderful easy read to encourage mommas. Becky writes as if she is speaking directly to me, without judgment yet offers exactly the advice I need. Especially during the current times we are in, the book Peace is uplifting, encouraging, and offers the peace this momma needed in her heart.
Much Needed Peace
Becky always has a way of speaking right to my heart, right where I am. In the current state of our world mom's need nothing more than Peace right now. This book is full of life, practical ways to experience the Peace we are all searching for, and is written by someone who is right there in the trenches with us. No mom is going to be left run the forrest wandering. We are coming for each of you and leading you out of the darkness into Peace.
Timely release!
This book could not have come out at a better time. Peace is written to help women, especially Momma’s find hope and healing from anxiety. I’ve had the opportunity to read all of Becky’s books and this one does not disappoint. Grab your cup of coffee, tea or beverage of choice and be prepared to have what feels like a conversation with a dear friend. Becky writes from the heart, and has a way of speaking directing to YOU. She’s walking through the forest of fear right alongside you- and guess what- there is a way out, and you are not alone in this journey.
Perfect Just What is Needed
This book is exactly what every Christian women needs right now. Especially in the state of the world we are living in. Becky Thompson takes biblical truths and explains how to apply them and gives you peace from the world.
Highly recommend
As a long-time reader of Becky Thompson, her newest book does not disappoint! I highly recommend reading Peace; it is loaded with sound, biblical encouragement on dealing with anxiety. It’s a must-read!
Applicable to anyone with anxiety
If you have anxiety, you can need and read this book even if you're not (yet) a momma. Even though she makes it clear that she's not a big fan of hiking, Becky describes anxiety as a forest and overcoming as a hike we can complete only with God's help. I appreciated this unique analogy (I'd never before heard of trail angels!). She uses Scripture liberally throughout--but she's also not afraid to point out that caffeine and lack of sleep can also contribute to anxiety, as difficult as that may be for modern mommas to hear!
You are not alone.
This book is a gift for woman, mothers or woman about to be moms. If you suffer from anxiety this is a book that makes you realize you are not alone. You don’t have to fight alone and that you are not wrong for feeling the way you do. A must read for sure. You will not be disappointed!
There is hope, mommas!
Mommas, if anxiety or fear are something that you struggle with, even just a little, this book, Peace: Hope and Healing for the Anxious Momma’s Heart will be a blessing to you. (It has been a blessing to me, for sure!) Becky has such a passion for this topic and it’s evident in her writing. She wants you to know that you can have peace and healing, and you are not alone. Becky paints a vivid picture of a vision she had of momma standing scared and alone in a forest of fear, and her goal with this book is to let that momma know not to lose hope, because she is coming for her. So if you feel like that momma who is alone in a forest and can’t seem to find your way out, this book gives you hope as you realize there are so many others who feel the same way, and God isn’t going to let you stay in the forest alone. When you read her books, you feel like Becky is sitting there talking to you like a friend. What a blessing this book is! *I recieved a digital copy of this book as part of the launch team. No reviews were required of me, and all opinions are my own.
Real life conversation!
Becky's newest book is exactly what I needed right now. It approaches anxiety from a real life, conversational tone, and speaks right to the heart. It is full of Grace, Love & Reassurance! There is, sadly, such a stigma around anxiety in the Christian world, and this book helps moms tear away that shame and guilt. Rather that just saying "if your faith was stronger you wouldn't feel this way," it shares the grace & love of God, along with practical help for anxiety. I couldn't love this more!!!
Wonderful
This book is wonderful!! There is not a woman out there that doesn't need to read this book. We all have anxiety at one time or another in life and this author understands that sometimes you need more than prayer. I highly recommend this book. Thank you WaterBrook & Multnomah via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.
Loved it so much!
In Becky’s book, Peace, she describes different ways anxiety manifests, but also encourages the reader that there is hope found in not only the Lord, but also through modern medicine and counseling as well. I appreciate that she doesn’t just ask for us to “pray it away” because she has dealt with crippling anxiety herself and knows that that’s not helpful to people who suffer with anxiety. Thanks for another great book, Becky!
Highly recommend!!
This book is a must read for all moms! Whether you have struggled with anxiety your entire life, have had PPA, or are just an anxious/worried mom, this book is for you. I truly think anyone with anxiety could benefit from this book (you don’t have to be a mom to get peace from Becky’s book). Peace has brought so much hope to my heart, made me feel like I am not alone, and strengthened my faith! It has made me realize that it is ok to struggle with anxiety and still have a strong relationship with God. I highly recommend this book to anyone! Also, a great book to do with other momma’s!
Definitely recommend!
As a Christian mom who has struggled with anxiety for many years, it was wonderful to read a book actually written by a mama who has been where I’ve been with my anxiety. Not only that, but she encourages me that just because I struggle with my anxiety, it doesn’t disqualify me from being a woman of faith. Definitely recommend!
The book every Mama needs at this moment
This book is just what everyone needs right now! It helps describe what we are all feeling in real terms. But it also helps you to feel that you are not alone. Becky Thompson walks you through understanding anxiety and the reason why women struggle with it. Then she gives you hope and strength found in Gods Word to help you walk out of the forest of anxiety as she calls it. She brings you the Truth if Gods Word so you can apply it to your life and find healing.
Encouraging and Inspirational
I read the book as part of the launch team but this review is my own opinion. I love, love, love this book! Peace is an inspirational and encouraging book for any woman who lives with anxiety. Becky uses personal experiences, humor, science, prayer, and scripture to normalize anxiety and help decrease the stigma surrounding anxiety disorders. Becky’s writing style makes you feel like you’re one of her best friends. It is evident that she truly cares for her readers and writes from her heart.
PEACE! for this momma's heart
this book couldn't have come at a better time - in the midst of the current global pandemic, children going back to school, unemployement rates, etc. on TOP of everything else that we mommas (and ALL women!) this book is something to hold onto and bring you back to center. Definitely recommend!!
Exactly What My Anxious Heart Needed!
Becky Thompson speaks love & truth straight to the hearts of every mother that has ever encountered a season of anxiety in her life. She writes as a loving friend and shows you not only the light at the end of the tunnel, but the light shining within you that never left. My new goal in life is to be a "trail angel" & help carry the loads of others through their journeys. What a beautiful picture of peace & hope!
Peace
Becky does an awesome job of making it seem like you are talking to friend. The book helps you work through anxiety while not being shamed for having anxiety. This book is great to share with friends experiencing anxiety.
